After several months of private online Hindi lessons, I can thoroughly recommend Zabaan. My friendly, patient and knowledgeable teacher, Riya, not only provides clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary, but also presents the language within a cultural context. Classes are flexible, informative and always interesting. After years of inconsistent attempts at self-learning Hindi, thanks to Zabaan I am finally making real progress.

ヒンディー語のみならず,インドの文化を直接周囲を案内して教えてくださいました。また,滞在時に生活面で何度も助けられました。感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

Zabaan offers instruction of a quality that is on par-and may be even superior- to that of the best universities in the world. I took private Hindi lessons with Rachyita Gupta as my lead instructor and greatly appreciated her mastery of the language. The deep knowledge of linguistics she acquired through completion of a master’s degree and sheer passion clearly showed. It allowed her to explain concepts and how Hindi works in a way that is easy to understand for a non-native speaker. She took the time to develop an individualized learning plan for me, sparing me the drudgery of cookie-cutter curricula. She also focused on giving me tips for self-study so I can continue to learn autonomously when away from Delhi. Beyond language instructions, she proved willing to help me understand India better, including facets of its many cultures, how it is changing and the challenges it faces today. I found all of my instructors to be on time, well-prepared for lessons and highly responsive to my interests. In my opinion, the premium costs of the private lessons at Zabaan is well reflected in the quality of their teaching.

I had such a great experience with Ali and Zabaan. I (American with no Hindi exposure) moved to Delhi for work and lived there for about 8 months. I signed up for Hindi classes right away and they became an integral part of my experience and getting accustomed to life in Delhi. By the end of the 8 months, I was able to read Devanagari script and write basic sentences, as well as have basic conversations with others in Hindi. Learning Hindi also helped me adjust to work as well by better understanding context and culture - even though most of my work was in English, Hindi was still present. It was also great to have the in-person options in Delhi, but also virtual options flexible in timing whenever I was traveling. Ali is an amazing teacher who is both patient and motivating. I learned a a lot about Indian history and culture from him, in addition to some great tips for travel around India. Would highly recommend Zabaan for anyone looking to learn South Asian languages.

Vartika
Vartika is a Hindi and Urdu language instructor. She was born and raised in Lucknow. She went on to pursue her degree in Political Science from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, DU. Having previously worked in the Public Policy sector, and being a politics enthusiast, the politicisation of the two languages (Hindi and Urdu) interests her.

Vartika started teaching at Zabaan in 2019.

Harsimran
Harsimran is a native Punjabi speaker whose relationship with the language became intentional later in life. After growing up largely in Hindi and English, she taught herself Gurmukhi in Class 12 and began engaging deeply with Punjabi as a language of thought, expression, and culture.
At Zabaan, she teaches Punjabi at the C2 / Advanced level, working with students on reading, listening, idioms, proverbs, and stylistic nuances. Her teaching is grounded in Punjabi literature, poetry, and oral traditions, and places strong emphasis on confident, natural use of the language. She also teaches Urdu’s script Nastaliq, and French to school students up to Grade 12 as well as to adult learners at the B1 level.

Riya
Riya holds a degree in English Literature and Education, and has been associated with Zabaan since 2019. With a keen focus on tailoring her teaching approach to each student’s unique needs, she adapts her methods to ensure effective learning.
